The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1887-11-19

From the temper of the voters of that
neighborhood. and from what the friends
of Gen. Nichols say, we feel confident
that there will be from that ward good
and fair representation of the Nichols
men present at the Convention at Breaux
Bridge on the 4th of December.
There is no doubt that there is majo-
rity Of Democrats IN favor Of the nomina-
ton of Gen. Nichols in this parish, and
if his friends will only attend the parish
convention on Sunday the 4th day of De-
cembcr. at Breaux Bridge, delegation
favorable to his nomination will certainly
be sent to Baton Rouge.

AMcEnery Meeting.

At about II O'Clock last Sunday the Ex-
celsior brass band assembled in front of
the livery stable and played two or three
pieces. Being little dry, they moved
in front of Mr.. Aubert's saloon which
was closed, aud gave a tune there, we
presume TO serenade Mr.. Lionel Adams
District Attorney of Orleans parish, who
was in the rear of that establishment
talking politics or testing the effects of
the Sunday law.
The brass band was invited in and we
presume took little, ;. well, . say
lemonade. After indulging in the lemo-
made with the distinguished guest from
New Orleans, the brass band took seats
in hacks which had been waiting for
them, and followed by limited number
Of the McEnery supporters, moved in the
direction of MIR. Alcee Thibodeaux store
where grand mass meeting was an
nounced to take place on that day.
On the arrival of the brass band at Mr..
ThibOdeauX, there was in waiting good
crowd of democrats. The brass band
alighted and soon began treating the
people to their sweet and delightful mu-
sic.
AT the time of opening the meeting
the attendance, we are informed by our
McEnery friends, numbered 15f voters,
among them they claim were about Is
Nichols men. There was also a good
attendance of ladies. Tie Nichols men
who were at the meeting estimate the
crowd at 80 counting ladies and all, and
say there were about % Nichols men,
therefore reducing the number of Nc
Emery men considerably.
The meeting was addressed by Hon.
Felix Voorhies, Mr.. r. Martin. Judge E.
Simon, District Attorney Lionel Adams
of Orleans and Judge James f. MoutOn.
WecOngratulate you on your success
to have at last succeeded in getting to-
gethcr at least, a reasonable crowd, but
we attribute your success to the brass
band, as the people in the prairies and
in the neighborhOod of the woods have
not often the occasion to hear such good
music, and Of course took advantage Of
this occasion to have little recreation
and leisure.
We guess if the McEnery people had
not made big thing of the brass band
and of the good time the people would
have there, and depend only on the po-
pularity of their candidate, their crowd
would have been slim-and they knew
it.

OAK, to the GLOBE says that Keller
formerly lived near CrandOn, Sr:~k
county, near Redfield, but left ab, ut /
month ago on the quiet. His properly
was quite heavily mortgaged. and after
he left it was aScertained that he had
made away with considerable of it, and
that he had given more than one
mortgage on property he never owned.
He is only one of the several that have
left that vicinity this fall and winter
under similar circumstances. Keller's
arrest was brought about III queer
way. He was discovered in the
streets of st. Paul by one Of

graphed Redfeld, and learned the
truth. Keller is now in jail. A peti-
ton for a writ of habeaS corpus was

Paul. This has been expected for some
time, as it had been known that Mr..
Lee had been endorsed by prominent
Democrats for the position and had no
rivals. His candidacy has been favor
ably commented on by his many st.
Paul friends.
The new custodian of stamps, Will
lam Lee, is one of the oldest merchants
in st. Paul and is well known through
out the entire state of Minnesota. For
some time ne has been living in retire
ment at his home on East Tenth street,
though he is frequently seen in the bust
ness world.
In appearance he looks the South
erner. and is genial, courteous gentle
man of well-knOwn popularity. He was
born in Milford, HunterdOn county, n.
j., April "A. 1922, and went into business
at EaStOn, Pa, when he had finished
his collegiate course. Even so far back as
1859 St.Paul had begun to grow, and Mr..
Lee came here at that time.
His iObbing house. on Third street, be-
tween Robert and Minnesota, was well
known in business circles, and ever
since Mr.. Lee has held a prominent pO-
sitiOn. not only in business way, but
socially. In 1870 Mr.. Lee was elected
mayor of ST. Paul, serving two years.
and it is an historical fact that his record
was one of faithfulness and ability. He
was mentioned for postmaster immedi-
ately after the present administration
came in. His merits were so marked
that it needed but word to raise a
storm in his behalf. Mr.. Lee was in
dOrsed to the authorities at Washing
ton by Congressman Rice and Hon. p.
III. Kelly, both of whom had known him
for years as business man and a
citizen.
Since it was known that there was
likelihood of Mr.. Lee being nominated
fol- this position he has been Overrun
with applicants II office, but his stereO-
typed reply to such visitors was Il am
not postmaster yet"
Inquiry at his residence last evening
revealed the fact that, obliviOus of the
honor conferred upon him, the postmas-
ter in embryo had gone to Minneapolis
to attend to some private business. ''He
/ did not know at dinner-time that he had
been nominated, said Mrs. Lee, land
i doubt if he has heard of it yet. Ger
tainly the news is surprise to me-"

TAX DEEDS.

An Interesting Opinion from the
Supreme Court Other Opin-
ions.
Judge Vanderburgh, of the supreme
court, yesterday handed in several opin-
ions, the most interesting of which was
one relative to the acquisition of prop
erty under tax deeds. The syllabus is
as follows: ~
w. III. q E. P. Sanborn, respondent, VS..
Agnes and Robert Mueller, appellants.
SyllabuS-An action brought under
chapter 1877, laws 1887. to test the valid
ity of an adverse claim under tax deed
or certificate, may be maintained by the
land owner, without alleging or proving,
either that the land is vacant, or in the
2. When in the description of deed
reference is made to part, it may be
used to identify the land referred to,
though it does not conform to the statute
and is not duly certified. 8. Title
will not presume to have been acquired
under tax certificate issued upon tax
judgment and sale for 1879 until
notice of the expiration of the time
of redemption has been served.
4. A tax certificate issued under the
sale made in pursuance of chapter 135,
laws of 1881, which shows on its face
that several separate and distinct lots
are sold together in gross for one price,
is void; but where several village lots
are contiguous, so that they may be
used and assessed together as one tract,
it will not be presumed from the certifi-
cate that such sale thereof was irregu-
larry made in violation of the statute.
5. A tax certificate issued under the
same statute, which purpOrts to have
been made in pursuance OF "a real
estate tax Judgment, entered Aug.
Is, 1884," Oh 1.-The 3lSt day of
December" year not given,
was dated Dec 81. 1881: 1t will be per-
Sumed that the sale was made Dec. 81,
1881, and in the absence of any evidence
or finding on the subject it will not be
held as matter of law that the special
sale under that statute must necessarily
have been completed prior to date men,
toned. 6. The plaintiffs do not seek to
recover possession, but to have the va
lidity of the tax title under which de-
PENDANT claims determined; held that
it was not error for the court to refuse
to assess or allow in this action the
value of defendants improvements
upon the land in question.
VANDERBURGH, j.
OTHER DECISIONS.
August PetrOwSkey, respondent, VS..
Isaac n. Flanagan, appellant; judg-
ment reversed and cause remanded with
directions to tax costs in defendants

ment affirmed.
